How do I pay an international parking fine?

Question

Oct 07 I received a parking fine over in Delft, Netherlands. The care hire place told me not to pay it, now the council over there keep sending me bills, and they are getting bigger. Trouble is, I can't read the bills as they are in dutch! As is the website. Does anyone know if there is a easy way to pay the fine???

Answer 1

I don't know where you are, but have you tried the European Languages department of a local university?  Or the Dutch embassy?  Or Babelfish?  http://babelfish.altavista.com/

Answer 2

On the letter there should be Bank details and a "swift" code or "iban" number.  You can use this to make a bank transfer (my parents have done this from UK to me in NL)

However I would pick up the phone first and call the car hire company and if they again say to ignore it, then get them to confirm this in writing.  Then send this to the council.  Otherwise call the council and get their advise.  They will speak English well enough to be able to explain

If you need help translating it then scan the document and send it me by Email and I can explain
